Destiny (feat. Beti & Brandon Woody)

I'm so far from perfect Guess they'd never know it 'cause I never really show it Yeah, I'm calm on the surface Zoom into my being, there's alarms and alerts And a battle going between reality and purpose There's balance or divergence The door to our destiny is defended by deterrents Yeah, we slip and fall, and for the moment it might hurt us Can't let it disconcert us Late nights, mornings overslept Stress all on my face, I'm poppin pimples like they Percocet Youngins gettin at me, they ain't even put the work in yet Rappin 'bout a fantasy and I can't really work with that Homie heard some new shit, he said Boozle yo you murkin that Heard he sent a message to my ex and now he workin that Life will keep you humble when your head as big as circus tents Circle gettin smaller by the day is the adverse effect I go harder each and every day, is it worth it? My folks feel like I'm missin, I be in and out of circuit I let my brother down, I barely heard a single word since That's the shit that break me down and got me feelin worthless Reminders written in cursive I cannot forget that which is etched on epidermis Bam is a wizard, but there's a man behind the curtain Alexan the wordsmith, gifts that you couldn't purchase What's it for if the fam ain't fed off that? Why do artists struggle while the dummies dead off rap? Ain't nothing special 'bout them kids, they just Kellogg's snacks All them lies on the track, don't let 'em sell y'all that I smoked the work with dawg and it went too fast I hit the plug, he like damn how'd you sell all that? And I ain't sell it, I'm surprised I got to tell y'all that Life's stress and I just got to take the edge off that Wish I could hit the stage, I ain't been up in like a year Coronavirus closures put a hold on my career I'm searchin for an opening, I know the door is near I'm holdin on to hope, but I done let go of some tears And what I'm kickin different, this that flavor in your ear I do it for my fam and the ones I hold dear I'm workin for my peoples, yeah, I'm sure I made it clear I need for them to know how much they matter while they're here Things ain't always what they appear I know I'm sharper than shears, a hell of a way from Sears I'm headed for big lights, I swear I can hear the cheers But falling off course is my biggest fear Wait on me, weights on me Need the music to be my one and only Searchin for a door that's lookin kind of blurry But I'm tryin to reach my destiny Wait on me, weights on me Need the music to be my one and only Searchin for a door that's lookin kind of blurry But I'm tryin to reach my destiny Testin under David Bowie pressure Sway with the answers, got me askin Alexa Cash stashed in the dresser for the bad weather But that rain comes often and them storms won't let up Eric Draven said that it can't rain all the time I watch The Crow when I'm low and I got pain on my mind A solid family and some bros, and I know they're by my side But I get feelings of solitude that won't seem to subside I had plans as a youngin, a lot of 'em didn't turn out To be what was in store for me, I pray this time it work out Heel-flipping for a workout, skate until I'm burned out Mugzy pull up and you know them hits is gettin churned out, a rack of 'em Trust me, y'all don't even know the half of it The way that I'm not smackin y'all, you'd think I was a pacifist I ain't tryna flood the streets, in this game I'm a strategist Them other niggas draggin it Boeing got me higher than where Jasmine and Aladdin is Stones on my neck, I mix aquamarine and amethyst County Kids pull up to the disco, they get to panickin Dynamic and damaging Going dark like I'm Anakin Leave 'em stuck like a mannequin I get on the stage and I start feelin like the man again Inbox full of messages, more spam is in from the Stans again Stuck inside the crib, started forgettin who I am again But all I need's a microphone to handle it Sheesh
